Skippered trips & boat charters

Canal trip boats & party charter boats

Skippered canal trip boats are great on a day out. Trip boats run short scheduled canal pleasure cruises, usually lasting an hour or two, that you can often just turn up and join.

  • You get a cruise along a canal usually with a guide onboard pointing out interesting things to see.
  • Trip boats have a skipper and crew and will often provide onboard food & refreshments.
  • Some are based at popular visitor centres, others in town and city centres.
  • Many canal trip boats also offer chartered cruises for just your party, which must be booked in advance. Some offer trips for school groups, business hire, party cruises & wedding receptions.
  • Some charities run specially adapted accessible trip boats for people with disabilities.
